Tokyo Sound

Since household appliances like vacuum cleaners are in another area, I went to the shoe store first. As soon as I entered the store, Master Yin passed through the crowd like a dragon, accurately and quickly occupied the last independent small folding stool in the store, and just as he sat down, another competitor arrived late.

The boy immediately showed an extremely regretful expression, and before he could say anything, he was dragged away by his girlfriend to do some meaningless shopping. The boy looked back as he walked, his eyes full of envy for the other party who got the seat.

Seeing this, Yin Ze smiled faintly. Young people should still practice more. The battleground was occupied, and then he looked up to find the two younger seniors.

But I found that Hidaka Rina was chatting happily with Taneda Risa, with smiles on their faces. One made suggestions and the other nodded thoughtfully.

Obviously, the two girls can agree on aesthetics and hobbies. Especially since Miss Taneda is an art student with a bit of design vision, she is the most suitable consulting partner. In comparison, she really doesn't need a boring straight man to act as a supporting role.

For no reason, Yin Ze frowned, feeling a little disappointed.

Ten minutes passed.

Having just been dragged away by his girlfriend and gone through aesthetic questions and favorability option tests, the sweaty man finally had time to return, only to find to his grief and anger that the high ground was still occupied by that guy.

This is unscientific.

"Why weren't you dragged away and tortured?" the boy asked in a puzzled voice.

"Because I don't have a girlfriend." Yin Ze crossed his legs and snorted, "I don't have any weaknesses either."

"Then you came to the women's shoe store just to leave my compatriots with no place to rest?"

"To grab a seat, you need to rely on your strength."

What kind of revengeful personality is this? The boy is angry. What is this single guy so proud of?

"Chief, we should go now." Taneda Risa suddenly called out. Although she was a lady from a wealthy family, she was a nerd who was always on the forefront of the Internet. She even had to type her Line username before calling someone.

To be honest, when Yin Ze first heard it, he didn't realize that he was being called. He saw that his younger seniors were paying the bill, so he hurriedly got up and trotted over.

The boy who stayed behind finally got the right to use the folding stool, but when he saw the mean guy being sandwiched between two girls, and not asking for a shopping bag, and not even taking out his wallet when checking out, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. His eyes were filled with another regret for missing out on the great man.

"You've finished buying so quickly?" Yin Ze threw the wooden stick and the box into the trash can. It's only been a quarter of an hour.

"How long can a pair of shoes last?" Hidaka Rina didn't understand. "As long as the price, size and appearance are right, I can decide on them quickly."

"That being said..." Yin Ze nodded solemnly, "By the way, let me see what you bought it for."

Hidaka Rina generously opened the shoe box. It was actually a pair of ordinary sneakers, pink and white, very breathable, with a soft and cute shape, and it was obviously for women.

"It's a pretty small pair." Yin Ze expressed the most intuitive opinion.

"Haha, I'm so sorry about my short height and small feet." Hidaka Rina laughed calmly but dangerously.

"Uh, that's not what I meant." Yin Ze waved his hands repeatedly, "Senior Sang has a lot of experience, but he's still young, so he will definitely grow up again in the future... Playing ball, drinking milk, etc., there's absolutely no problem."

"We are all adults, but you are the only one talking like a child." Risa Taneda folded her hands and shook her head.

"That's right." Hidaka Rina snorted.

At some point, it seemed like these two had teamed up and formed a united front.

But after hearing this, Yin Ze suddenly realized that if he calculated the time, the younger and older people were also 20 years old, and they were beginning to enter the most energetic and spirited stage of their lives.

Time flies. I still remember the scene when I was reciting English words for dictation to my senior who was wearing a middle school uniform before the recording of the broadcast of Dark Reincarnation Fantasy started.

"It's this kind of attitude of the junior that makes people unhappy sometimes," said Hidaka Rina, pointing out the fault.

"After all, my spirit is not only mature, but even as good as leftover rice." Yin Ze sighed with his hands behind his back like a veteran cadre.

"But I think the other pair looks better." Risa Taneda returned to the topic of shopping.

"But that pair is a bit expensive." Hidaka Rina said without hesitation, "Actually, as for shoes, it's enough if they fit your feet. If they are too expensive, you will pay attention to them and want to avoid dust. But isn't that putting the cart before the horse in the invention of shoes?"

"It's expensive, but there's a reason for it." Yin Ze muttered like an elder, "Actually, you entered the industry so early, several generations ahead of your peers, it's okay to spend money occasionally and enjoy the fruits of your labor."

"Frugal accounting is a necessary skill for those in society. What should we do if everyone is as sloppy as our juniors?" Hidaka Rina shook her head.

"…Even though you were talking about me before, don't you have a very mature personality?" Yin Ze couldn't help but say.

Generally speaking, being financially independent in your 20s is already pretty good. Not to mention someone like my younger senior who started out as a child star in the first grade of elementary school, I'm sure the amount of money in his personal coffers is quite impressive, right? But he was very restrained in all his desires, not only working ahead of time, but also calculating the daily necessities ahead of time.

Behaviors that are beyond one’s age must be supported by a certain degree of self-discipline and initiative.

For people like this who have invested a lot in their careers, they will definitely PASS the housewife route for the future, and will definitely not accept giving up their career for the sake of their family, even if their cooking experience is about the same as that of the girl upstairs.

"It's good. Feelings are all fake. Only the money in your hands is real." Yin Ze sighed.

"...I feel like you were thinking something very rude just now. And, you acted like a cowardly old uncle again. Don't look at your youth now. When you're forty, you'll definitely become that kind of nagging uncle." Hidaka Rina glanced at him.

"Don't you still need to buy a vacuum cleaner? Go and choose quickly. After all, there are many brands and functions." Yin Ze said immediately.

"Huh? It's okay with me. I've already decided which one to buy. You can talk about it slowly." Risa Taneda said with a smile as if it had nothing to do with her.

"?"

Miss Zhongtian is good in every way. She is beautiful, kind-hearted, well-educated, and generous.

It was just by chance that he came into contact with the despicable, evil, immoral and ugly Shimazaki Nobunaga, and as a result he was influenced by the devil clown and also liked to watch the fire from the other side of the river. Is this good? This is very bad.

However, Master Yin and his younger senior had been arguing for a long time, and several of their programs had been ranked on the Yinquan Rankings, so this little quarrel was naturally nothing. The three of them happily went to the electrical appliance area again.

What Taneda Risa said was true. She was very purposeful. She asked the clerk directly and bought a specific model. When she paid, she also calculated the discount, coupons, etc. After signing, she just had to wait for the delivery.

Master Yin never expected that one day when he went out shopping with two women, in the end, the three of them only carried one small shopping bag.

The speed, mobility, and planning of the two people completely violated the hunting/gathering theory of shopping.

"Are all the things done?" Yin Ze asked, stroking his chin.

Both girls just looked at someone and didn't say anything.

"Huh? All these things have been bought, why aren't you ready to leave yet?" Yin Ze was very confused.

"Yeah, our business is over, what about you?" Hidaka Rina said meaningfully.

"Speaking of which, we just passed by a lot of interesting shops, some with food and some with fun." Risa Taneda nodded seriously.

"This, this is not right. Why are there extra plans today?" Yin Ze finally felt something was wrong under this illusion of decisiveness.

"I think that the mayor and the main actor should show some appreciation." Risa Taneda smiled wickedly.

"Yes, yes." Hidaka Rina said.

The man hurriedly recalled that none of the girls he knew were simple.

……

soon.

The man came to a shop with mysterious decoration, where there were all kinds of strange figures, such as tentacle monsters squatting on toilets, as well as old clocks, hourglasses, treasure maps with unknown meanings and other symbolic props.

"Hey, welcome. Is there anything you are confused about? We are happy to listen."

Behind the counter, a white-haired old lady smiled kindly, wearing several rings with complicated patterns on her fingers. In front of her was a crystal ball covered with linen. In short, she looked very professional.

"Is anything okay?" The two girls were in high spirits, snuggling together in front of the counter.

"Of course, whether it's career, study, or love luck, anything is possible." The old lady said quietly, and then covered her mouth with her hands, "Even the luck of future generations can be calculated."

"Hey, what methods are used to measure it?"

"Whether it's drawing lots, tarot cards, or horoscopes, I'm an expert at them all."

"Wow, that's amazing. When I looked it up online, people said this store was great."

"Haha, you're so polite. Two beautiful ladies, which one of you will do the divination first? And handsome young man, how about you?"

Yin Ze wanted to say that he was a staunch materialist. But firstly, it was not appropriate to say this in a fortune-telling shop, otherwise there would be a risk of a battle of wits. Secondly, his adventure in the toilet was still fresh in his mind, so he rolled his eyes and retreated, "I don't like Western magic systems. I love Eastern metaphysics."

"If that's the case, our deputy store manager is an expert in this field." The old lady said as if she was looking for a photo, "But he's not here today. If the customer needs him, I'll call him to come over."

Yin Ze was handed a photo, or to be more precise, an employee photo.

In the photo, the deputy store manager, who is about 70 years old, is wearing a plain shirt, old Beijing cloth shoes, and sunglasses. He is holding a few greasy walnuts in his hands and smiling with yellow teeth. Times have changed. He is no longer holding a hemp banner with the eight trigrams written on it, but a large transparent cup of hot water soaked with wolfberries.

Otherwise, judging from his appearance, he must be a demigod at least. He would be invited to perform at every wedding or funeral in the village.

Yin Ze was numb.

This is called professionalism.

There was really no other way, so like a warm-hearted class teacher, I obediently paid the divination fee for my two female colleagues who were as excited as primary school students on a spring outing.

Chapter 184 Divination

When the blackout curtains are drawn, the light in the room becomes dim, the bustling sounds of the business district outside the store fade, and the sound of the clock hands moving on the wall is tinged with a mysterious ritual atmosphere. The silver-haired old lady peels off the thin cloth on the crystal ball, and the translucent sphere emits a glimmering glow.

"In the prehistoric Celtic tribes, Druids used crystal balls for divination." The old lady's tone was gentle and peaceful. "So, who will go first?"

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Taneda Risa is a gentle person, and it's rare for her to rush to do something. However, considering that her online name is "Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Philosopher's Stone", it seems understandable that she is interested in such things. "How can I cooperate?"

"Just tell me your birthday, and I will use it as a key to look across the river of time," said the old lady.

"It's that simple." Taneda Risa nodded and was about to say something, but then paused and suddenly asked someone like a good student asking for help with a math problem, "When is my birthday?"

"It's your birthday, and you ask me?" Yin Ze was confused.

"Rumor has it that you have a good memory, so let's test it." Risa Taneda shrugged.

"Oh, then it's July 7th." Yin Ze answered casually.

"How did you know this?" asked Hidaka Rina puzzledly.

"She has filled out her Line information." Yin Ze said as a matter of course.

"Why did you specifically click on someone else's profile page?" Hidaka Rina asked.

"Well, when I use software, my hands always slip a little bit. It's normal." Yin Ze said truthfully.

"You mean you can remember it after just a quick glance?" Risa Taneda laughed.

"You don't need to know so much about the memory of liberal arts students." Yin Ze waved his hand arrogantly. He was a test-taker who succeeded in cramming by memory, and a carrier of human principles. His realm was really too far behind.

"Well, congratulations, you got it right. That is indeed my birthday." Taneda Risa smiled and continued to talk to the fortune teller behind the counter, "Manager, please continue."

"Okay." The kind-faced old lady just smiled and watched the guests interact. She stroked the crystal ball with her wrinkled hands wearing several rings, as if she was feeling something. "...Well, it's a very vital flow. You must have worked hard to practice for something in the past, and you struggled for it. Judging from the changing cloud shadows and the sudden light in the crystal ball, after a lot of hard work, you have gained a lot now, and are moving closer to the life you expect."

"Yeah." Risa Taneda listened carefully.

"But waves are appearing in the river, which means something has happened around you recently, causing different emotions and thoughts in your heart. Fortunately, the color is light gold, which means it is not a bad thing. It could be a breakthrough in your career, the arrival of wealth, or of course, it could be meeting your soulmate." The old lady narrated slowly.

"I see." Risa Taneda continued to nod.

Hidaka Rina was also listening with interest.

Only a certain boring straight man was scratching his head. As an excellent user of omnipotent rhetoric, he felt that these words were a bit familiar... He often said this when he was on the phone with his long-winded agent.

"Through the rippling waves, I can see the 'tough' side of your life," said the old lady.

"Are you saying that I'm stubborn?" asked Risa Taneda.

"Haha, if I must say so, I guess so. But it's not derogatory." The old lady smiled, "In life, we will always encounter various setbacks and difficulties, and strength and resilience are the boat that crosses the sea of ​​suffering. Your spirit is not as soft and peaceful as your appearance. On the contrary, when faced with difficulties, you can always cheer up quickly."

"This is very good quality. I feel really embarrassed." Taneda Risa smiled. "Actually, I don't have much confidence myself. There are just too many talented people. But since the owner said so, if I encounter a challenge in the future, I will quickly regroup."

"Although suffering is often the gravel road to success, it is best not to take this road, even if it is mediocre." The old lady sighed with the unique sense of the elderly, "It is too tiring to be alone. If there is someone you can trust, then boldly seek help. The fate between people is written by hand in hand again and again."

"Well, to be honest, I've been a little troubled lately." Risa Taneda thought for a moment, "Now I have achieved some results, but I always feel that it's too smooth. Even though I have tried my best, I still feel a little unworthy."

Girls may be a minority, not too many small roles, debut as the main role of the lucky voice actor. And long-lasting, every season can get an important role.

After Hyouka, a certain person started to watch anime shows, playing various types of protagonists, and his career went smoothly. In these anime shows, he often played opposite Osawa's colleagues.

This indirectly proves Risa Taneda's current popularity.

"You have high standards for yourself, or maybe there are many diligent and talented people around you." The old lady pondered for a moment, "What you are doing now should not be the same as what you have been practicing hard in the past, right?"

"Yes, I went to art school in college, but I'm not in the art industry now." Taneda Risa said in surprise, "I'm really surprised that you knew that, shop owner."

"The crystal ball told me all that." The old lady smiled naturally.

The boring straight man is still scratching his head... Nowadays, it's quite normal for college students to go out to work and not work in a field related to their major.

"Don't worry. The sudden light is warm and powerful. Your current harvest is not a temporary luck, but the fuel that supports the burning." The old lady comforted, "As long as you remain humble and have a clear conscience, this feeling of worrying about gains and losses will eventually turn into a kind of proud self-confidence."

"confidence?"

"Yes. If a person, in his field, undergoes constant tempering and hard work, and wins success again and again through accumulation, he will no longer be confused. That is not blind arrogance, nor is it conceit, nor is it arrogance influenced by external material conditions. It is a treasure forged with sweat, completely independent of oneself, and can withstand any burning and freezing." The old lady smiled and said, "To put it simply, it is super charming."

"Oh, I'm still far from this level." Risa Taneda said embarrassedly.

But it was true. The girl was deeply touched.

Beauty will fade, age will pass, money and power will never be taken away with you when you die. If you have to say it, a person's life is meaningless.
